One million businesses turn to Liquidation.com for surplus inventory from the world’s leading retailers. Operated by Liquidity Services Inc., the website gives flea market vendors access to unheard of deals in a bid-driven environment. The site was recently chosen as the official marketing partner of Acer computers, but inventory categories extend far beyond technology alone. There are more than 500 product categories to choose from on Liquidation.com contributing to its $1 billion gross merchandise value. “We have an enormous volume and variety of goods that we continue to expand,” says Rob Caskey, VP of Marketing. The wholesaler makes it easy for small businesses including flea market vendors to find and purchase large volumes of discount merchandise, he adds. “Searching for items is incredibly easy by using the five menus. We also alert our buyers when we post new auctions for specific items of interest.”
Registration is Free and Well-Placed Bids Can Result in Big Profits
Joining Liquidation.com is free and buying is done in auction format. After becoming a site member, vendors may bid on whatever they choose. While the profit margin can vary with the intensity of the “bid battle,” a well-placed bid can yield a high profit margin. One lot of designer handbags may go quickly for over $300 after more than 20 bids have been placed, and another lot of similar designer bags may be up for grabs for $100 without any bids. Win or lose, there are plenty of lots to peruse, nearly all of which have an opening bid of $100 with no reserve, meaning the marketplace determines how much the price moves from that point. Certain lots are available on a “buy now” basis, but Liquidation.com visitors should come ready for some friendly competition.
While there are no volume discounts offered by the site, the auction format allows for more flexibility than many wholesalers offer. Depending on what a vendor is in the market for, he or she could save a bundle on a lot that may have slipped through the competition’s fingers. Bidders are only one click away from getting a great deal on bulk merchandise. “Liquidity Services and Liquidation.com were built upon the idea that technology and the Internet could revolutionize the fragmented reverse supply chain,” says Caskey, “and transform how large organizations dispose of surplus assets.” Based on the company’s track record, it continues to accomplish precisely that.
